The small cove of what used to be a village known as Marina di Cardo is now home to Bastia's fishing port and marina, at the foot of the citadel and its keep. The old buildings of Terra-Vecchia are built in terraces around the cove. Small yachts at anchor, colourful fishing boats and fishermen mending their nets invite you to stroll along the terraces of the cafés. Houses polished by the offshore wind huddle together along the quays.
